IgE-mediated vs. non-IgE-cell-mediated

[Guest guest]

the immune responces of a true food allergy can be seperated into two

categories,

mediated IgE and non-IgE-cell-mediated.

the more common IgE mediated responce,also refered to as immedate

hypersensitivity reaction involves rapid onset of symptoms,where non-

IgE-cell-mediated,also refered as a delayed hypersensitivity

reaction,involves a delayed onset in symptoms,usually 24 hours or

more.(delayed type IV responce) and I did have some of these delayed

responces also with allergy testing that went basicly unreconized

because I was home by the time they started showing the reaction.

this is why I fell so strongly that the differences between calling a

allergy a allergy and calling a chemical/toxic responce a

chemical/toxic responce is important, what the public percieves as a

allergy is pretty mild compared to what we are liveing with. while

other things may be going on I dont see any difference between IgE

mediated responce or delay except the delay and the fact that

immediate shows what your reacting to while the doc is in and delayed

doesn't.

a true food allergy is a abnormal reaction that involves the immune

system to a certain component in the food,usually a protien.(a

protien!!!, could be a mycotoxin,DNA adduct)
